Synopsis

This bestselling story has now been brilliantly adapted for audio Cd and there are two readings - the first is a straight reading with music, and the second has a 'special sound' to indicate where to turn each page as you read along in the book. Angelina Mouseling loves to dance. She dances in her bedroom, at school, in the kitchen and even in her dreams. Mrs and Mrs Mouseling are in despair until they decide to send her to Miss Lilly's ballet school and make her the happiest mouse in the world.
